1958 Map of Charleston West

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Industrial and urban development along the Kanawha River anchors this 1958 topographic survey, updated through the mid-1970s. The massive Naval Ordnance Plant occupies a prominent position in South Charleston, reflecting the region's mid-century defense and manufacturing significance. The urban landscape of Charleston and Dunbar is contrasted by the steep, wooded ridges to the south, where numerous hollows like Dryden Hollow and Polly Hollow provide a glimpse into the traditional geography of the West Virginia hills.
